Maybe I am missing something but, while you can geolocate anonymous
contributors (well to the extent you can reliably geolocate any IP address),
you cannot geolocate logged-in users. Of course the WMF servers do know the IP
addresses used by the logged-in users but this is suppressed for privacy
reasons. So either you are seeing data based only on anonymous users (which is
unlikely to be a representative sample) or the WMF have chosen to compile and
release this data set. There is no way anyone else could compile the
geolocations of all contributions.
So I am curious what the 2014 data you are pointing us to really represents.
